Simi, a popular musician from Nigeria, ripped into a Twitter user who said that her husband, Adekunle Gold, had imitated Burna Boy, a colleague, in terms of dress and demeanour.
This was said by the tweep in response to a picture of the “High” singer rejoicing alongside Nigerian fighter Israel Adesanya after the latter’s recent triumph in the ring.
Adekunle Gold was criticised for not being true to himself and for repeatedly copying Burna Boy’s “posture, smile, and glasses,” according to the rapper.
“The Burna Boy plagiarism is really so obvious and very annoying at this point. man can’t you just be yourself? same posture, same glasses, same smile. wtf ?! it’s been going on for awhile now and we need to speak on it.”

After he made that allegation, internet users found other images of Adekunle Gold looking like the self-described African giant.
Simi objected, saying that only depressed people had the leisure to scrutinise other people’s lives on social media.
“People that have good things going on in their lives really never do shit like this.”
“And that’s a fact for everyone. When you come on the internet talking nonsense about anyone minding their damn business, your life is most likely sad and you’re distracting yourself. So it’s you I’m sorry for.”
